Our publication process is designed to be transparent, ethical, and author-friendly.
First, authors submit manuscripts through the journal website or online submission system. Submissions must follow the journal’s author guidelines, formatting requirements, and ethical policies.
Second, the editorial office conducts an initial screening to confirm whether the manuscript fits the journal’s aims and scope, formatting requirements, originality expectations, and ethical standards.
Third, manuscripts that pass the initial screening will be sent for peer review. The journal normally uses a double-blind or single-blind peer-review process, depending on the journal’s editorial policy. Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on originality, relevance to the journal scope, theoretical contribution, methodological quality, clarity of writing, ethical compliance, and academic or practical significance.
Fourth, based on reviewer comments and editorial evaluation, the manuscript may receive one of the following decisions: accept, minor revision, major revision, reject, or resubmit for further review.
Fifth, authors revise the manuscript according to reviewer and editor comments. A response letter should be submitted to explain how each comment has been addressed.
Sixth, accepted manuscripts will go through copyediting, formatting, proofreading, metadata preparation, and DOI assignment where applicable.
Finally, the article will be published online through the journal website. Article metadata will be prepared to improve discoverability and future indexing readiness.
